Clergy

A member of the Beth Tzedec clergy may serve as m’sader(et) kedushin (the officiant) at your wedding, or you may have another rabbi or cantor officiate or co-officiate.

• Rabbi Steven C. Wernick, The Anne and Max Tanenbaum Senior Rabbinic Chair, joined the Beth Tzedec community in February 2019, where his tenure as Senior Rabbi has been marked by a renewed focus on inspiring and enabling members of our community to live meaningful Jewish lives.
• Rabbi Robyn Fryer Bodzin has been delighted to be serving Beth Tzedec since August 2019. She directs our Centre for Spiritual Well-Being and is rabbi of the Little Minyan.
• Rabbi Lara Rodin first came to Beth Tzedec in 2021 as the Tanenbaum Fellow and became Assistant Rabbi in 2025.
• Cantor Chaim Stern, The Hennick Family Senior Cantor, leads services with warmth, personal attention, and musical artistry. With extensive experience performing at weddings worldwide, Cantor Stern helps select meaningful songs and provides professional musical accompaniment for unforgettable events.
• Cantor Sidney Ezer helps lead your service to make it musical and personal. He shares the beauty of various Jewish musical traditions.

As spring approaches, we look forward to celebrating the many rey’im ahuvim, loving partnerships, that will flourish under the chuppah in the months ahead, including those of the LGBTQ+ community.

We can also accommodate off-site weddings if that is your preference.
